Sorry, this was lost in our approval queue. I can see that you have our Classic license. The live topics feature is available to select Invision Community (Cloud) packages. If you are interested in these packages, please drop an email to our sales department who will be happy to talk you through the process. You can also request a private demo to test this feature (and more!).

I would consider setting up stock replies. These can be used for both Commerce and any area where there is an editor.

It's not something we're considering. Our cloud platform is a mixture of many technologies and micro services from AWS and other service providers. They wouldn't really fit on a docker image.

Clubs are available now: https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/clubs/ You can create a template hook to do that, yes.

I can switch them on tomorrow. They are still there.

That is out of the box.

Unfortunately not. It’s a brand new site.

Let us know any bugs if feedback on the alpha site please. Why? 🤔

For the past month or so, we've been working with a small number of alpha testers to get some initial feedback and to fine-tune some of the new features. We are now ready for more feedback, so today, we take the next step in testing! We've opened up a new Invision Community 5 preview site for everyone to use, find bugs and offer feedback. The new preview site has a feedback area and a bug report area, so please use those areas on the preview site, rather than post your thoughts here. 👉 https://preview.invisionalpha5.com/ There are two themes currently available. The first is the more 'classic' look that you will find instantly familiar. The second theme has the newer views enabled, such as the sidebar and feed mode for forums. You are welcome to switch between the two, and you can also change the layout options via your account settings. All this information is contained in the welcome topic over there. Have fun, and please let us know what you think!

Well. That was an unfortunate typo.

So broadly speaking, a beta will be a true beta whereas in the past with new major versions, it's more alpha-like in that we might add some more functionality, or refactor bits of code on whim which means you get a really lengthy beta testing phase. With v5, we're being more careful to ensure the quality of the product, and even now it's incredibly stable and very polished and much more beta-like than alpha. That said, we are aware that we may need to revisit some features and tweak them, or potentially re-work bits of code so we're not quite ready for beta status. We're really hoping for a public beta by September. We're aware that we're running out of year and before long Thanksgiving arrives and signals the start of the holiday season. We haven't made any firm decisions about release schedules in terms of which Invision Community packages get beta first. My instinct right now is to release both the classic version and the Invision Community but we'll confirm closer to the time. We may stagger the final release, but that would be just to prevent support becoming overwhelmed with upgrades. But more pressingly, the next steps are: - [Coming next week] Public alpha: an install of Invision Community v5 for everyone to test, offer feedback and post bugs on. - Developer alpha: we've gathered a very small group of contributors to test and give feedback on the development tools - Finalise v4 to v5 upgrade tests - Public beta

Maybe sooner.

Thanks for the interest! We're about to enter the next phase of alpha testing, likely next week where more can participate.

There has been no significant changes to the follow system in v5. In terms of ETA, there can be no precise time until we know it's finished. v5 itself is pretty straight forward, but to launch it, we will need updates to our website, documentation, etc which all take time. Progress is good though, we're up to alpha 7 and hundreds of fixes have already gone in, lots of features changed based on feedback and even a few things added we've yet to blog about. We're ready for the next step in alpha testing, and we expect to have more news on that next week.
